Top Four Reasons Businesses Join the Bellevue Chamber

We’ve done extensive research and found that most companies - large and small, across all industries and time in business - are members of the Bellevue Chamber for these primary reasons:

1. VISIBILITY

In a world loaded with marketing options and information, an investment in the Bellevue Chamber is a simple, inexpensive way for you to increase your local visibility and marketing efforts to develop business relationships that produce more opportunities and sales. To stand out from the competition, smart businesses leverage their resources through the Chamber to give them cutting-edge visibility. Since you and your customers are always on the go, your business is listedin a Business Directory formatted for smart phones. The Bellevue Chamber offers a wide range of affordable advertising options and sponsorship packages for just about every business or non-profit, regardless of how big or small their budget may be.

2. ACCESS

Unless you’re crazy or like consistent rejection, no one enjoys making cold calls all day long. It’s a painful, tedious process that often wastes far too much time and mentally drains even the most upbeat and friendly person after a while. When you join the Chamber and get actively involved you’ll discover that meeting other business people who may have an interest or who can refer you to key contacts you’re trying to reach, is a huge benefit of membership. From being on committees, serving as an ambassador, or attending specific events where prospects are likely to be, you’ll find yourself in situations where you can identify and meet decision-makers face-to-face versus making cold calls.

3. RESOURCES

Unless you have the luxury of a training budget or can afford to bring in local, regional or nationally known experts on different topics, there’s no other organization that delivers timely programs at such an affordable price as the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce. By spreading costs among fellow members through registration fees and sponsorships, members can stay updated, informed and educated at a bargain price.

4. ADVOCACY

Are your employees and customers local? Are taxes and school systems important to finding and retaining a high quality work force? These are key areas that the Chamber researches, lobbies and routinely discusses with local and regional government, elected officials and the media to keep you up to date on central issues of importance pertaining to your business and the community. The Chamber works to create a positive business climate, preserve and protect the positive attributes of our community, and find ways to foster healthy business growth.
